When I look at the tomato, selsius, bloodhound…I wondered how I could ever keep up! With the realization that I CAN’T keep up with you guys, but can carve myself my own little niche at my own pace, it’s been liberating. I was trying to do too much too soon. In a hurry to see results. It’s still a struggle to keep my own reins pulled in, but after a blogging break, I’m back at it!

When you mention focusing your content, I wonder how focused that should be. Should I just discuss real estate stats with every post? I think that would turn people off as well. So I guess it’s a balance that we are trying to hit. Enough variety to give a little spice, but not so much that readers are put off.

I can relate to “un-focused” problem. There are just so many good things out there to write about… I can’t decide on one particular focus.
Jim, you have the “how to” of blogging category down pat!!

Trying to keep up on my own blogs in addition to reading others became overwhelming. You’re absolutely right…consistency, but also pace, is key.

I am thrilled to have been able to been part of the remedy for your eminent burnout. It seems my thousands hours in blogging medical school are paying off.

The day before, I actually posted a blog asking for ideas from my readers…suffering from a bit of blog burnout.
I’m happy to say, I’m feeling much better now and this post was the two aspirin recommended by Dr. RE Tomato.
Thanks!

Your mileage may vary.
Actually I think that for verbose characters (or is that caricatures) such as myself, attracting escrows from the entropy is the way to go, and ultimately the payoff is worth it. But there are lots of people who shouldn’t be doing it at all, they should be sending out postcards or calling expireds or something else. I firmly believe that prospecting is a deeply personal thing — sort of magic in a way. I know some people who swear by open houses. Frankly, I’d rather spend four hours hugging a rock than holding a house open — at least I could lie down and get comfortable hugging a rock, maybe take a nice nap.
As for blogging, you make a few pals along the way, and that’s nice, especially when they follow a period of thinking you had zero pals. But the hard thing for me is realizing that the only important entity reading me is an algorithm, and heck, so what? Who am I, James Joyce? F. Scott Fitzpedant?
Commercial writing is a different beast than creative writing, but it’s still OK.
It’s hard to be as boring and occasionally obtuse as I am, but the checks help me bear up pretty nicely.

It takes time and as you point out a consistant effort. I think the payoff is worth it.
